Carolyn Llorens’ Testimony
FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I’M FREE AT LAST!!!!! Hi, my name is Carolyn from South Haven, Michigan, and I would like to share with you a love story. I am off of antidepressants and seventy pounds lighter with the help of a program called The Weigh Down Workshop. I have found life - a life worth living. I have not taken antidepressants for over three years, and I have kept the weight off for two years. I have found that DIETS DON’T WORK AND ONLY GOD’S PLAN DOES!! I may HAVE LOST a lot of weight, but I have GAINED TRUE LIFE. I’m a new creation, FREE to enjoy chocolate shakes, cheeseburgers, and whatever God provides, within His boundaries. I enjoy these foods, but I LOVE God and that’s the difference. I have learned to love the Father and enjoy His food instead of loving the food and “enjoying” God.
As a Christian, I knew that I was supposed to have a fulfilled life with joy and peace - free from the strongholds of this world, but I did not have that. I was depressed and overweight. I thought that I would just have to accept myself this way, and that God would too. Well, I learned through the Weigh Down Workshop how to fall in love with God and how to follow His will. I learned what pleases the Father and how to obey His commands. God has such a unique plan for each of us, and He is in control of our life, not us. So, when I repented and surrendered myself - my will - over to Him, I discovered that His plans are much better than mine. He tells me when to eat by giving me a stomach growl, He shows me what to do with my day, He points me to outfits in my closet, and He directs my path, because I go to Him for everything. I discovered how much He loves me, cares for me, and wants the best for me. I learned that obedience is not a choice; it is a command from God and when you are not obeying you are rebelling against God. I don’t want to lose His love!
Before, I relied on antidepressants to control my emotions, and now God shows me His feelings, His will. Before, I ate whenever I wanted to, and now I eat when my body is hungry. I found a message that taught me how to love God and how to obey Him with all of my heart, soul, and mind. Now I am FREE FROM dieting, FREE FROM exercise programs, and FREE FROM antidepressants.
I now feast on His will, not my own; and I am Spirit-led to live a life that God intended. He fills me; I don't look for something on this earth to fill me. I love God and am so thankful to have a love relationship that is growing each and every day. I live my life for Him alone - not for myself. My family has benefited from this TRUTH. “...But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). You can also experience this new life; call the Weigh Down Workshop today!
